Here's a fantastic specialty recipe
for garlic soup from the Casa del Rio
Bed and Breakfast, Abiquiu, New Mexico


Ingredients:
1 large head garlic cloves
salt
pepper
1 whole cloves
1/4 teaspoon sage
1/4 teaspoon thyme
1/2 bay leaf
some sprigs of parsley
3 to 4 Tablespoons olive oil
2 pounds diced potatoes


Drop head of unpeeled garlic cloves into about 2 quarts of boiling water for about 1 minute. Drain and run under cold water. Peel. Put the garlic into 2 quarts of boiling water, along with 2 teaspoons of salt, a pinch of pepper, the cloves, sage, thyme, bay leaf, olive oil, and parsley. Simmer 1/2 hour.

Strain soup. Press liquid out of garlic cloves and discard. Return soup to pot and add diced potatoes. Simmer about 25 minutes. Correct seasonings and serve with French bread and grated Swiss or a good Parmesan cheese.

I love garlic too...I actually find the smell of garlic on someone to be very attractive.
Also, it's very good for you. My father always called it 'Russian Pennicilin' and made either garlic toast for us if we were sick, or we ate cloves of it raw...it really does have anti-biotic properties. http://www.naturalfacts.c...arlic.html
And, ironically, it's the substance (allicin) that creates the smell that has those properties. So, if you buy non-stinky garlic tablets it's going to do you no good.
Not to mention, they don't taste good like the real thing!

REDFEATHERS said:

HELL YEAH!
Don't eat what I eat?
Then I ain't eatin' you!

BorisFishpaw said:

OH MAN...thanks for the recipe...I'm gonna have to try this one
Also, roasted garlic is really yummy in mashed potatoes.

BorisFishpaw said:

Tomorrow, I will try that for lunch! Thanks BorisFishpaw!!!


btw, how are your fish drawings coming on?

BorisFishpaw said:

Oh, yes. Orgasmic.

Has anyone tried elephant garlic?



I haven't, but it's supposed to be a huge and much more mild version of regular garlic.

That is sooo cool! I was introduced to garliuc at an early age, my Mum is a very good cook and very experimental, so i always try new things...


What is also cool about this thread - even though I say it myself is it proves that us Orgers can talk about subjects without mentioning sex and viloence!

And thanks, Boris and Dansa.

Here's another garlic delight...
Broiled Lemon & Garlic Tiger Prawns

1 cup butter
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice

Ok, BorisFishpaw, I am gonna copy, paste, print now and add these to my recipe book! ;mrgreen:



Thanks!!!

garlic is great for food as well as heart health...

I eat garlic 6 days a week.
Usually with whatever I'm cooking, sometimes raw.


It's healthy, it adds to the flavor of most any food.
I don't remember-
nor do I want to remember-
my life before I became enamored with.. garlic.


Years ago, for a while, I did have this "thing" about not wanting to eat garlic if I thought I would be around others (mainly women)
but after living in a certain Western European country for almost 2 years..
I got over that self-concious nonsense!


Garlic is in the recipe
for whatever I'm eating tonight, too.

BorisFishpaw said:

Me too, sure it isnt your Fritos that are Garlic flavoured?


btw, off topic: I have just twiddled my hair and it feels so cute and so soft...

I love it on salmon - a friend of mine has a fabulous marinade recipe with olive oil and lemon juice and I'm not sure what other spices. But it is so tasty!!
